　　Ⅰ. 单项填空

　　1. - ________it is to watch Xiao Shenyang's performance!

　　-So it is！Everyone present will burst into laughter.

　　A. What a fun B. No wonder

　　C. No doubt D. What fun

　　解析：选D。考查交际用语。根据Everyone present will burst into laughter可知选D。fun是不可数名词，前面通常不用冠词。No wonder难怪；No doubt肯定地，想必。

　　2. -What do you think of our manager，Mr. Smith?

　　-He is really ________success in his career，but in a way he is ________failure in his family.

　　A. a；不填 B. the；the

　　C. a；a D. 不填；不填

　　解析：选C。考查冠词。success和failure此时都是抽象名词具体化，前面通常要加不定冠词a。a success/failure在此表示"一个成功/失败的人"。

　　3. It is ________ill health that she is now not so active in the movement.

　　A. instead of B. in place of

　　C. thanks to D. in face of

　　解析：选C。考查短语辨析。thanks to因为，由于。此句用了强调句型It is. . . that. . . ，强调thanks to ill health。instead of代替，而不是......；in place of代替，取代；in face of面对。

　　4. -Do you regret ________up your opinion that every child should take part in service learning?

　　-No. On the contrary，I think it is very necessary.

　　A. bringing B. to bring

　　C. to be brought D. being brought

　　解析：选A。考查动词用法。根据答语"不，正相反，我认为它非常有必要"，可知bring up这一动作已发生，故选A。regret doing表示后悔/遗憾做过......(已经做过了)；regret to do表示遗憾地要做......(还未做)。

　　5. (2009年南通市高三调研测试)Ever since Dolly，the sheep was cloned in 1997，Westhusin's phone ________with people calling in hopes of making the copies of their pets.

　　A. has rung B. rang

　　C. was ringing D. has been ringing

　　解析：选D。考查动词的时态。由该句的时间状语"Ever since Dolly，. . . in 1997"判断，应用完成时，但ring是瞬间动词，不能与"ever since＋过去时(间)的时间状语"连用，故用现在完成进行时。

　　6. Nowadays everyone is responsible for ________a harmonious society in China.

　　A. making up B. taking up

　　C. opening up D. building up

　　解析：选D。考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：如今在中国每个人都应担负起构建和谐社会的责任。make up表示"弥补"；take up表示"占据，从事"；open up表示"开放，开辟"；build up表示"使强壮，建造"。
